RAISE FINE TOBACCOi
No Other Pays II

Every planter knows it does not pay to raise
common tobacco; the markets of the world
are overstocked and there is not demand
for it. 1t should be the aim of every one
then to raise fine tobacco and no efforts
should be spared to that end The stock of
bright and fine tobaccos, are not to be had
out of present crop to supply one-half of the
demand; consequently many manufacturers
are using substitutes for our bright tobacco.
So this will be the year for our people to
make an extra effort to raise fine crop
and in order to do this successfully, they
must plant their finest lands, prepare and
manure it well, and use judiciously the very
best Tobacco Fertilizers they can get
For the past fifteen years no Fertilizer has
been sold upon this market that has glver
such fattering results and made half as
much fine tobacco as Ober's Special tebacct
Compound. 1t has stood the test year ii
and year out, wet or dry, and never disap
points you. A large supply on hand.

Cooper's New Tobacco Warehouse in
Prospective.

Prospective.
The Oxford TorchLtght, speaking of the
new brick warehouse to be built by Mr.. d.
Y. Cooper, mention of which was made in
the GOLD LEAF two weeks ago, says:
The large and constantly increasing bus
mess of Mr.. d. Y. Cooper, Of Henderson,
has made it necessary for him to build a
new warehouse for the sale of leaf tobacco,
of more extensive dimensions than the one
he occupies at present. The contract mas
been let and the new building Will soon
be in process OF construction. IL VIII ue
ITO 300 feet, fronting on two streets, with
a basement 20 200 feet, making on two
floors 50 900 feet of floor room for selling
and DriZing purposes. This immense struc-
ture will contain every convenience known
to the tobacco trade, for both ouyer ana
seller, and farmers will find here every
accommodation which they can desire.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. ID. I. Coop
er moved from Northern Granville to Hen
derson, and commenced tue warehouse ous-
mess in q small way, and since that time
! his efforts have been so successful that he
| now stands in the front rank OF the ware
| house trade of North Carolina. by untir,
| ing energy, unwearying perseverance and
unnaralieled personal effort his business
has continued to rise higher and higher
until its magnitldina1 proportions enttle
| it to a position amongst the most successlu vi
| institutions of the New South. Such mel
as Mr., Cooper are those we need as an ex
ample to our rising generation to convince
| them what hard work will accomplish
| His labors have contributed greatly Il
build up the agricultural interests OF Vance
and the surrounding counties, and nearly
every day after the tobacco sales are over
scores of farmers can bic seen with pletho
ric purses vending their way hoIneHa.d:
from Cooper's Warehouse. with giadsom'
hearts and determination to redoubl'
their efforts to make yellow tobacco an
other year.

To OUR MERCHANTs.-NO successful
merchant fails to advertise his wares. The
business men who have made the greatest
fortunes were the most liberal advertisers.
No Investment pays half as we'll as judi
cious, attractive and incessant advertising
in your local paper. People do not come
unlimited anywhere and purchasers re-
quire to be told at all times and seasons
where to go for bargains. Many kinds OF
advertising, more or less expensive, have
been tried, but it is the firm and fixed con
clusion of alEmerchants of character ane
experience that there is no substitute fol
the home paper.
1t is said that New Workers advertise
more freely in dull times than flush times
but they never neglect in any season, to lie
the public know what they have for sale o
what they want Business has been re
! duced in New York 20 a science, and ad
yertising there has become a fine art.
Henderson might we'll profit by the ex
ample of the rich and prosperous meI
chants in New York. There are man
houses here that do not advertise at all ant
this is the cause of the complaint of har'
times with many of them.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.-Dealers tell us
that less guano has been sold this season
than usual. On the other hand we are in
formed that more manure was made on
the farms than has been known for sew
eral years. This the GOLD LEAF takes it
is an encouraging sign of more substantial
prosperity for the farming classes hereaf-
ter. Where compost is used there is some
permanent improvement to the land and
not so much of the money realized from
the crop, whether it be tobacco or cotton,
to go into the pockets of some one else be-
sides the farmer. Of course it is we'll
enough to use some good reliable fertilizer
| but our farmers have all along been de-
pending entirely too much upon this alone.
Even where guano is used the best results
